Intended Use
The Pioneer Spinous Process Fusion Plate is a posterior, non-pedicle supplemental fixation device intended for use at a single level in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purpose of achieving supplemental fusion in the following conditions: degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis, trauma and/or tumor. The Pioneer Spinous Process Fusion System is intended for use with bone graft material (i.e. allograph or autograph), not intended for stand-alone use.
Device Story
Pioneer Spinous Process Fusion Plate is a posterior, non-pedicle supplemental fixation system; provides stabilization by linking adjacent spinous processes. Used in non-cervical spine (T1-S1) to facilitate fusion; requires concurrent use of bone graft material (allograft/autograft). Device consists of a plate and spacer system; implanted by surgeons during spinal procedures. Provides mechanical stability to the spinal segment; intended to support fusion process in patients with degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, or tumor. Not for stand-alone use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Dimensional comparison and static/fatigue disassociation testing at the locking interface demonstrated equivalence to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Titanium Alloy Ti6Al4V per ASTM F136. Posterior, non-pedicle spinous process fixation plate and spacer system. Mechanical fixation device; no software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for single-level posterior, non-pedicle supplemental fixation in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1) for patients with degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma (fracture/dislocation), or tumor. Must be used with bone graft (allograft/autograft); not for stand-alone use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.

| Device Name: | Pioneer Spinous Process Fusion Plate | |
| Classification<br>Name: | Spinal Interlaminal Fixation Orthosis | |
| Classification<br>Number: | Product Code/Classification Number:<br>KWP/ 888.3050 – Spinal Interlaminal Fixation Orthosis<br>Class II | |
| Description: | The Pioneer Spinous Process Fusion Plate is a plate with spacer system<br>designed to provide posterior fixation by physically linking adjacent spinous<br>processes. | |
| | All components of the Pioneer Spinous Process Fusion Plate are comprised of<br>Titanium Alloy Ti6Al4V per ASTM F136. | |
| | The system also contains Class 1 manual surgical instruments and cases that<br>are considered exempt from premarket notification. | |
| Intended Use: | The Pioneer Spinous Process Fusion Plate is a posterior, non-pedicle<br>supplemental fixation device intended for use at a single level in the non-<br>cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous<br>processes for the purpose of achieving supplemental fusion in the following<br>conditions: degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with<br>degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies);<br>spondylolisthesis, trauma and/or tumor. The Pioneer Spinous Process Fusion<br>System is intended for use with bone graft material (i.e. allograph or<br>autograph), not intended for stand-alone use. | |
| Material: | The Pioneer Spinous Process Fusion Plate is composed of Ti Alloy per ASTM<br>F136. The predicate device is composed of the same material. | |
| Comparison to<br>Predicate<br>Devices | The indication for use of the Pioneer Spinous Process Fusion Plate is the<br>same as the predicate device. Implant material, mechanism of action, and<br>available sizes for the Pioneer Spinous Process Fusion plate are identical to<br>that of predicate systems.. | |
| Performance<br>Data: | A dimensional comparison between the subject and predicate Spinous<br>Process Fusion Plate devices demonstrated that no significant differences<br>exist that would impact strength or function. This analysis concluded that<br>the two devices were equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness.<br><br>In addition, static and fatigue disassociation testing at the locking interface<br>between the screw and barrel was conducted on the Pioneer Spinous<br>Process Fusion Plate and found to be equivalent to the predicate device. | |
| Performance<br>and SE<br>Determination: | Equivalence for Pioneer Spinous Process Fusion System is based on<br>similarities of intended use, design, and physical characteristics when<br>compared to predicate devices. Therefore, Pioneer Surgical Technology<br>believes that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the Pioneer<br>Spinous Process Fusion Plate System is substantially equivalent to existing<br>legally marketed devices. | |
